Former director of the Employment Agency Vukica Jelić will testify in the Basic Court in Podgorica, in the dispute over the lawsuit filed by three members of the former committee of the Institute against that institution, from whom they are demanding 200 euros each for two years of work in the committee. The Jelić hearing is scheduled for September 12.
The judge made that decision yesterday Jelena Andjelic. Jelić's testimony about all the circumstances of the dispute was previously requested by the Institute's lawyer Nebojsa Batrićević, and she will, among other things, state the circumstances of the lawsuit, the formation of the commission, the appointment of its members, the amount of fees...
They initiated this lawsuit against the Institute Stanko Laković, Gracijela Rakonjac i Nevena Šuković, who, as members of the commission for grants from February 2016 to February 2018, are requesting to be paid fees of 200 euros each for membership in that commission for a period of two years. These commissions were formed in 2016 by Jelić, and the problem arose that the decision itself did not specify the amounts of compensation for members, which left room for free interpretation. It is disputed that the experts in the previous proceedings considered that the members have the right to compensation for each resolved request of the beneficiary for subsidy, so such compensation amounted to 15 thousand euros per month, while the salaries of these officials were around 500 euros.
Due to the disputed decision on determining the amount of fees, the Institute sued seven members of the commission at the time, who are demanding a total of almost two million euros.
At the hearing, Batrićević also requested that the experts, who have been working until now, make findings and supplements in this dispute. Jovan Varajić i Nemanja Dragović make a joint finding on the criteria for the amount of remuneration for a member of the commission. He recommended it after he said that the latest addition to expert opinion Varajić from April 24, as well as Dragović's earlier finding, were not adequately accounted for.
The lawyer of the former members of the commission Nikola Vukcevic he had no objections to the findings of the expert expert Varajić, but said that the numerous expert reports so far were unnecessary. Former member of the commission who filed the lawsuit, Laković, he emphasized that he believes that Batrićević's proposal serves to prolong the proceedings and confuse the court.
In April, Jelić, in a dispute over a lawsuit filed by members of the commission, said that those members did their work as part of their regular duties and during regular working hours, that they could receive compensation at the end of a six-month period, and that it could not amount to more than from 108 euros per month
Judge Anđelić did not accept the proposal for a joint expert opinion, because, as she said, it would lead to the prolongation of the procedure, the creation of unnecessary costs, but also that the entire expert opinion has so far established the factual material for making a legal decision. After this decision, Batrićević once again requested a joint expert opinion because he believes that both of them conducted the expert opinion according to their methodology and contrary to what the prosecutors requested in the lawsuit.
The former director of the Institute, Jelić, previously, in another dispute following a lawsuit filed by members of the commission, said that those members did their work as part of their regular duties and during regular working hours, that they could receive compensation at the end of a six-month period, and that it was not paid monthly could amount to more than 108 euros per month. She then emphasized that she considers the request of seven former members of the commission unbelievable and distasteful, especially because they are asking for one and a half million euros to participate in the project to encourage the employment of people with disabilities, in which the incentive measures were worth a total of one and a half million euros.
